BJP govt transforming states into hubs of development, says Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed that investments worth over ₹1 trillion have been grounded in Uttarakhand in the past two years. He stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments were committed to the development of states, enabling them to attract industries and generate employment. "Under the leadership of Modi Ji, BJP governments are transforming states into hubs of good governance and development, making them preferred destinations for investment, industry, and employment. I am delighted that in Uttarakhand, over Rs 1 lakh crore worth of investments have already been grounded in the past two years," Shah posted on X. "On this occasion, I interacted with investors and young entrepreneurs at the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival - 2025' held in Rudrapur. In the double-engine government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand is emerging as a new hotspot for sectors ranging from tourism to healthcare, infrastructure, and food processing," he added. Earlier on Saturday, Shah addressed the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival - 2025', organized on the occasion of the realisation of ₹1 trillion worth of investments in Uttarakhand, and the inauguration and foundation laying ceremony of various development projects worth ₹1,271 crore by the state government. The Home Minister was also felicitated by the Uttarakhand Chief Minister, who joined him for the inauguration and laying of the foundation stone for various schemes under the Uttarakhand government. Shah took a strong swipe at the Congress party, accusing them of "torturing agitators" when the people of Uttarakhand were fighting for the demand of a state. Meanwhile, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday praised the massive success of Uttarakhand Nivesh Utsav, calling the Rs 1 lakh crore investment a "foundation stone for the state's golden future." Speaking at the investment summit held in Rudrapur, Ramdev said that Uttarakhand had emerged as a global hub for wellness, spirituality, education, and health, and that the investment push would only boost its stature further. "This festival, which gathered an investment of more than one lakh crore rupees, will lay a new foundation stone for its golden future," he told mediapersons. He later added, "An investment of more than one lakh crore rupees is a huge achievement... Today, Uttarakhand has become a huge destination for health, education, religion, and spirituality worldwide." Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that terrorism and Naxalism no longer dare to raise their heads in the country, crediting the nation's leadership for creating a secure environment that supports economic growth and investment. Dhami described the event as a historic moment for the state's development. "...Today, terrorism and Naxalism in the country dare not raise their heads. Today, the country has also set new benchmarks in the field of occasion has been marked as an important chapter in Uttarakhand's development journey.

Over 81K jobs created in Uttarakhand through ₹1 trillion investments: Shah
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Saturday addressed the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival - 2025', organized on the occasion of realisation of Rs 1 lakh crore worth of investments in Uttarakhand, and inauguration and foundation laying ceremony of various development projects worth Rs 1,271 crore by the state government. On this occasion, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Ritu Khanduri Bhushan, Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Ajay Tamta, and Yog Guru Baba Ramdev, along with several other dignitaries, were present, Ministry of Home Affairs said. Addressing the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival 2025', Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that every time he visits Uttarakhand, he returns with a renewed sense of energy. The moment one sets foot in Uttarakhand, he is blessed by the deities residing in the Char Dham, the sacred rivers Ganga and Yamuna, and the saints who have kept the flame of spirituality alive in this land. Shah said that Uttarakhand is rightly called the "Dev Bhoomi" (Land of the Gods), because its mountain peaks elevate not just India but the entire world to spiritual heights. "The saints and sages residing here have, for thousands of years, worked to purify and uphold Indian culture flowing alongside the Ganga. At the same time, the rivers of Uttarakhand provide drinking water and irrigation to nearly half of India, sustaining life. He added that Uttarakhand offers a unique confluence of nature and culture," he further added. Amit Shah stated that during the 2023 Global Investors Summit held in Uttarakhand, when Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami informed him that the state had received MoUs worth Rs 3.56 lakh crore, he had remarked that signing MoUs is not a major achievement--implementing them on the ground is the real challenge. Shah said that today, investments worth over Rs 1 lakh crore have become a reality in Uttarakhand. He noted that bringing investments to landlocked and hilly regions is as challenging as climbing a mountain. However, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, despite all adverse circumstances and by breaking traditional perceptions, has successfully brought in investments exceeding Rs 1 lakh crore in the state. He added that along with these investments, more than 81,000 jobs have been created in Uttarakhand, as per the release. Additionally, it is estimated that ancillary industries will generate around 2.5 lakh new employment opportunities. Importantly, investment has reached even Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. He emphasised that industrial growth in the state has been pursued while maintaining a balance with environmental sustainability. He also praised Chief Minister Shri Dhami for outlining a new roadmap for Uttarakhand's development, marked by transparency in policy, speed in implementation, and vision in planning. Shah said that when the people of Uttarakhand were fighting for a separate Uttarakhand state, the opposition party persecuted the agitators of Uttarakhand. He said that the work of making Uttarakhand a separate state was done by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Atal ji created three states - Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. These three states were formed and started moving forward in the path of development. "The icing on the cake was when Prime Minister Narendra Modi government came to power in 2014. Shah said that whatever Atal ji created, PM Modi worked to improve and enhance it. Now there is a double-engine government in Uttarakhand," he added. Amit Shah said that PM Modi has drawn the blueprint for the development of the entire country. Whether it is the development of infrastructure, bringing clarity in education policy, laying the foundation of industrial development of the country, or taking the economy forward, PM Modi has made many records in every field. He said that the Modi government has increased the length of national highways by 60 per cent in the last 10 years. Work has been done to build 8 lakh kilometer of new roads in rural areas. Convenient 'Vande Bharat' trains have reached 333 districts of the country. 45 thousand kilometers of railway lines have been electrified. 88 new airports have been built and inland waterway cargo has increased 11 times. "It is the result of these development works that Atal Ji had then brought the economy of this country to the 11th position, which PM Modi has upscaled it from the 11th to the 4th position in 10 years," he added. Shah said that we are going to become the world's third-largest economy in the year 2027. He stated that the speed at which development has taken place has led to a doubling of our exports in the service sector, and exports have increased by 76 per cent, resulting in our becoming the fastest-growing economy. Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has busted the myth that if infrastructure is built and industrial development takes place, the welfare of the poor gets affected. He said that the Modi government ensured food security by giving 5 kg of grains free of cost to 80 crore poor people of the country, by providing free treatment up to five lakh rupees to crores of people, and their expenses incurred on hospitalisation were waived off. For the first time after independence, tap water was provided to 16 crore houses, toilets were built in 12 crore houses, LPG cylinders were delivered to 13 crore houses, electricity was provided to 3 crore houses and four crore people were given houses. Along with this, work was also done to bring 25 crore people above the poverty line. Union Home Minister said that PM Modi has pledged to make India fully developed by 2047. It is not possible to build a developed India without a developed Uttarakhand. He said that until our small states progress, there cannot be uniform development in the country. Similarly, until the states of the eastern region progress, there cannot be uniform development in the country. Therefore, the Central Government has paid special attention to the development of small states and eastern states. Amit Shah said that as far as Uttarakhand is concerned, where one Jyotirlinga, two Shakti Peeths, four Dhams, Panch Prayag, Panch Kedar and Sapt Badri are situated, nobody can stop its development. He said that our government devised a policy that brought stability as per the needs of Uttarakhand, provided an environment that rolled out the red carpet for the industry and transparent governance, ensured good law and order, and provided such infrastructure so that tourists keep coming 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The Union Home Minister said that PM Modi has left no stone unturned in providing facilities to Uttarakhand. He said that some activists were trying to stop the construction of all-weather roads to our four Dhams, but PM Modi, with great determination, filed the lawyers of the Government of India in the Supreme Court and has almost completed the work of providing all-weather roads to the four Dhams. "The day this work is completed, there will be a rush of tourists in Uttarakhand all year round. Shah said that the construction of a 12-km-long ropeway from Govind Ghat to Hemkund Sahib at a cost of Rs 2700 crore and the Sonprayag-Kedarnath ropeway at a cost of Rs 4000 crore will attract tourists from all over the world in the coming days. Many such roads are being built for the devotees, which will connect Delhi directly," he later said. Amit Shah said that due to stable policies, an environment for industrial investment was created in Uttarakhand. Tourism policy, start-up policy, film city policy, policy for the service sector and AYUSH policy were made. By making arrangements for getting all approvals through a single window, the Chief Minister has provided a lot of convenience to the industrialists. Shah said that Ayurveda, yoga, natural treatment and organic farming, these four are going to become the basis of development of Uttarakhand in the coming days. "Ayurveda, yoga, natural treatment and organic farming are a tradition here, there is a suitable environment for them and people also have faith in them. There is a possibility of attracting many times more investment and tourists in these four areas," he added in an official statement. He said that the international container depots built in the state will promote exports and logistics. Plug and play facilities are being developed in Haridwar, Dehradun,and Udham Singh Nagar. Many schemes have been brought for start-ups and the current government of the state has created an overall environment for development. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that during the opposition party's government from 2004 to 2014, a total of 53 thousand crore rupees were given to Uttarakhand for devolution and grant-in-aid, while PM Modi gave about three and a half times more, i.e. one lakh 86 thousand crore rupees, from 2014 to 2024. Apart from this, 31 thousand crore rupees were given for roads, 40 thousand crore rupees for railways and 100 crore rupees for airports. He said that overall we have given four and a quarter times more money to Uttarakhand than the opposition party's government. He told the opposition that when the state develops, the practice of disrupting development should be stopped. When the state is progressing, it is the responsibility of every political party to support it.

Massive Investment Comes to Life in Uttarakhand: ₹1 Lakh Crore Grounded
A celebration was held in Uttarakhand for the successful grounding (implementation) of investment worth ₹1 lakh crore (₹100,000 crore). Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Dhami government is working with transparency, speed, and farsightedness. At the Uttarakhand Investment Utsav – 2025 held in Rudrapur, the Union Minister commended the efforts of the State Government. Only through a Developed Uttarakhand can the goal of a Developed India by 2047 be fulfilled. In the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, at the Uttarakhand Investment Utsav–2025 organized in Rudrapur on Saturday, the Pushkar Singh Dhami government celebrated the successful grounding (bringing onto the ground/implementation) of investments worth ₹1 lakh crore that have materialized in Uttarakhand after the Global Investors Summit held in December 2023. On this occasion, the Home Minister lavishly praised the State Government's efforts and assured full assistance from the Central Government. While addressing the Uttarakhand Investment Utsav – 2025 at the Sports Stadium in Rudrapur, Home Minister Amit Shah referred to the valedictory session of the Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit held in December 2023 and said that at that time he had told Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami that the State Government's real achievement would be to bring the ₹3.56 lakh crore worth of MoUs signed at the summit down to the ground (into implementation). He said he is now pleased that, despite many challenges, the Chief Minister's team has brought investment of ₹1 lakh crore to the ground. This has cleared the way for the creation of 81,000 new jobs. In addition, through ancillary industries, there is hope for generating more than 2.5 lakh (250,000) additional new jobs. The Home Minister said that industries are also being set up in Uttarakhand's secondary and tertiary (Tier-2 and Tier-3) cities. The State Government, while establishing a balance between development and the environment, has succeeded in drawing a new blueprint for growth with transparency in policy, speed in implementation, and farsightedness in vision. He said that the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government created three new states—Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. Today all three are standing on their own feet. After 2014, since the Modi Government came to power at the Centre, there has been a continuous 'double-engine' government in Uttarakhand. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has, while sketching out a roadmap for national development, created new records in every field. Atal ji left the country's economy at 11th position; Modi ji has brought it to 4th. Now in 2027 we are going to become the world's third largest economy. Modi ji has lifted 25 crore (250 million) people above the poverty line. The Modi Government is providing food security to the poor by giving 5 kg of free grain, and also providing free treatment up to ₹5 lakh to 55 crore (550 million) people. During this period, for the first time piped water reached 16 crore (160 million) homes; toilets were provided in 12 crore households; 13 crore families received free LPG cylinders. In Modi Government's tenure, electricity reached 3 crore homes for the first time; 4 crore people were given permanent (pucca) houses. The Union Home Minister said that Modi ji has envisioned a Developed India by 2047, but without a Developed Uttarakhand this goal cannot be achieved. For the country's overall development, the progress of smaller states—including the northeastern states—is also essential. The Government is paying special attention to this. He said Prime Minister Modi leaves no stone unturned in the development of Uttarakhand. Praising the efforts of the Pushkar Singh Dhami Government, he said that several initiatives—such as promoting investment through tourism, MSMEs, startup and film policies—have created an investment-friendly environment in the state. In the coming time, Ayurveda, Yoga, naturopathy/ natural treatments, and organic farming will become the foundation of Uttarakhand's development. Congratulating the Chief Minister for the successful grounding of ₹1 lakh crore, he said that the remaining investment targets should be brought to the ground tirelessly, and the Central Government is ready to extend full cooperation in this work. On this occasion Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, welcoming Union Home & Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah, said that today we are celebrating the successful grounding of more than ₹1 lakh crore from the Uttarakhand Global Investment Summit. He said today's celebration is not only about financial investment, but is a reflection of inclusive development based on Uttarakhand's rich potential, entrepreneurial spirit, and public participation— which will take the state to new heights of self-reliance and industrial prosperity. The Chief Minister said that out of investment agreements worth more than ₹3.56 lakh crore under the Global Investors Summit 2023, investment proposals exceeding ₹1 lakh crore have been successfully brought onto the ground. Today Uttarakhand is touching new heights in the fields of investment, innovation, and industrial development. He said that planned, systematic work is being done across the country to realize the Prime Minister's resolve of a Developed India. The Chief Minister said the State Government is continuously working toward industrial development in the state. More than 30 policies—including the Industrial Policy, Logistics Policy, Startup Policy, MSME Policy—have been implemented to provide a better environment for industries in the state. A venture fund of ₹200 crore has been set up for startups. The 'Nivesh Mitra' (Investment Friend) facility is being provided to promote investment in the state. Aroma Park in Kashipur, Plastic Park in Sitarganj, Electronics Manufacturing Cluster in Kashipur, and a Multimodal Logistics Park in Pantnagar have been established. The Industrial Smart City to be set up at Khurpia (Khurpya) at a cost of about ₹1,300 crore will also prove important for Uttarakhand's industrial development. The Chief Minister said that Uttarakhand has been placed in the 'Achievers' category in Ease of Doing Business and in the 'Leaders' category in Startup rankings. More than 260 business services are being provided online in the state.
